The Poplars Lyrics by Ernest John Moeran

Six Poems by Seumas O’Sullivan

0

As I went dreaming
By the grey poplar trees
They bent down and whispered
Words like these:
"In a far country
There is a lonely glen
Hushed with the footfall
Of shadowy men
Shadowy, and silent
And grey amongst the trees
That have long forgotten
The sound of the breeze
And one tall poplar
Grows in that land;
The chain of God's silence
Held in his hand."
This I heard
As I went dreaming
By the grey poplars
In the purple evening
